We need 2 things:
1. There are documentation changes which I hesitate to review because
I think this should be done by a native English speaker (or anyone
having equivalently perfect knowledge of English language).
2. I still don't understand why the newly added argument of
__strftime_internal yr_spec is of the type "int *" rather than just
"int". Maybe it is correct and the reason is that I have not
analyzed it carefully enough. I'm sorry, I am unable to analyze
it more carefully this week.
Also, the first patch of the series has already been pushed.
Question: do we need a separate bug report to fix the additional flags
being ignored (like "%-EY" and "%_EY") or does it fall in the same
general category "improve the width of %EY"?
Regards,
Rafal
